    Delusions like “a 3 hour special military operation”

    Yes, you have deluded yourself into thinking Russia said this. I guess reddit said Russia said it, so that’s basically the same thing, right?

    And tell me more about your thoughts on countries that assassinate their own citizens without due process. What kind of countries do that?

        Putin reportedly said. “But if I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.”

        Besides the issue of not being able to verify this was actually said, “if I wanted to I could take Kiev in two weeks” is a lot different from “this entire operation will be over in three hours.” “If I wanted to” in fact implies taking Kiev was not a goal, which aligns with it not being officially stated as a goal.

            You put it in quotes and called it a special military op instead of a tour, so it was a little bit obfuscated

            Edit: not that you meant to, of course, but it is what it is

            As an aside, I think Putin was probably right, but under the condition that he carpet bombs multiple major cities from the first available moment. The war is brutal, but Russia has not been carpet-bombing for a litany of reasons (and it is good that they aren’t)

            Lmao so now you’re claiming Putin was using some old English idiom in a private conversation with a Portuguese politician? Then said politician quoted Putin as saying a different phrase?

            Truly wonderful, the mind of a liberal is.

        HA. Sometimes I think people forget how time works. That we did not watch russia make these statements in real time and somehow reddit would come into it as if its mere existence is an augment.
